Recently, things exploded
Violent threats and screams
Aimed in a general direction
No one of us could have predicted
Eruption casually erased two
Of the whole who now drive off
Maybe for the better

What am I to say?
You don't choose family
This muddied bloodline
This displaced gathering
This collection of lives all picked from the same strained places in history
All grown in and picked from the same orchards and pastures of ****

Well

What am I to say?
You can push away if you want to push
It's that recently I've had a chance to
Meditate

And

What am I to say?
I agree with no sentiment at all that you share
And you all share your opinion on the same subject
Nightly, Nightly, Nightly
What am I to say?
I don't talk anymore since I tire of your ignorance
Not comprehending how you hold such hurtful views
Highly, Highly, Highly
What am I to say to the world about you?

While it would help my image completely to hate you so deeply
This little life support system survives and I like it enough to provide
